Burning Ice and a Shape-shifting Jesus

Richard Broughton, Associate Professor of Biology at the University of Oklahoma, has penned an excellent response to HB 1674, a piece of so-called “academic freedom” legislation aimed at giving equal time to the ridiculous beliefs of ‘Young Earth’ Creationists, witch doctors, astrologers and other crazies in science classrooms. I’d say the Prof. deserves a raise!

Prenda Law, whose business model was to accuse thousands of people of illegally downloading copyrighted porn then threatening to ‘out’ them if they didn’t pay a ransom “settlement”, had a verybadday in court on Monday. The judge was not amused by their apparent chicanery. Ken at Popehat has the best write-up I’ve seen.
